<br>In her final film, 87–year–old Mae West portrays Marlo Manners, a movie star who has just married her sixth husband, a very young aristocrat. All Marlo wants to do is consummate the marriage. But her attempts are frequently thwarted, thanks to interruptions from her ex–husbands, the {56}, her fans, a gymnastic team, a {50} of diplomats, and even a few {40} agents. And if that weren‘t enough, Marlo has another problem: an audio tape she‘s made of her steamy memoirs has mysteriously disappeared…

Sextette
YouTube has a great documentary on her introduced by Dom Deluise. She did only 11 movies, arguably mine if you don't count the two in her 80s.
She wrote or rewrote the mine in her prime. She was in ways like a co director in terms of directi. G how the camera should shoot her and what lights should be altered or added.
Many of her nest performances were cut out by censors. Parking was getting rid of Cary Grant who had failed to impress but she said to hang on to him, and made himher costar in two films.
She started in Vaudeville, creating her character and fostering local support.
Recently saw a doc also here on Vaudeville which answered my question I always wondered about. Not just what is it, but where was it.
It was EVERYWHERE, or at least international. In the US it was in large cities and some medium ones… In Europe too.
Live variety shows. Many acts traveled coast to to coast or even across the pond. others were regional, local.
They were small toedi or on New York, large theater venues. Truly wide variety of acts, some bizarre.
Mae progressed from vaudeville to Broadway to films when sound was still new to films. When the censors basically ruined her film popularity she took a break and then created her own return to Vaudeville so to speak, creating a club act that featured young male body builders.
She invested in real estate and made a fortune.
With charm and wit and the mastery of entendres she exuded sensuality and sexuality despite not possessing flawless pinup girl qualities.
Talk about confidence.
A real feel good total cult movie, and worth every repeated play! With a cast like this, amazing!
so quick witted, so hollywood, so quirky, fun, steamy and rock n roll! the innuendos just keep coming!
🌹 THAT WAS THE BEST $3.99, I HAVE EVER SPENT, IN MY ENTIRE LIFE, THANK YOU SO MUCH, MAE WEST🌹WHAT AN AMAZING WOMAN!!! COULD NEVER BE, DUPLICATED, ONE OF A RARE KIND🌹 WHO? NOWADAYS BE SO OLD, AND DO WHAT AN AMAZING MAE WEST DID?🌹 NOBODY WILL EVER REPLACE MAE WEST🌹 SHE IS IRREPLACEABLE🌹 🌹 RIP MAE WEST, GONE BUT WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN 🌹
Right on, Boleo. It seemed Mae's biggest crime was getting old. Disgraceful, an 84 year-old legend with a potty mouth. Bobby and I knew we had produced something to be proud of when Jules Stein of Universal said it was disgusting.
I'll never pay to watch crap like this.
Bad, but not as bad as it was made out to be…
